The stock market to-day was dull except for
few stocks, and was heavy TO weal for most
of the day. The principal factor in the decline
was the rumor OF a strike on Reading, which,
being circulated in London, was reflected in the
early cables. which made an excuse to open this
market down This was followed by free sales
for short account Of Reading, st. Paul, Union
Pacific and Lake Shore, the preSsu against the
latter being specially severe. Lackawanna also
suffered later when the attention OF the bears
was turned to il. In the afternoon rumors in
regard to Reading met with official denial. and
other favorable developments started the cover

to the best figures Of the day, but the advance
eliminated before the close though gains We're

TRUNK LINES WILL WIN.

Where the great railroads center will be the
metropolis of Texas, and the struggle for rail
roads is therefore a struggle for commercial
supremacy Waco Examiner.
Another great truth has found Judgment
in the Examiner sanctum. That paper
must now admit the fsr-reaching wis
dom of Fort Worth in securing "great
railroads We have the Texas and Pa
cific, the Missouri Pacific, the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, the Houston and
Texas Central, and the Fort Worth and
Denver, all great roads, "centering"
here, and our people are not yet done.
They are resolved on securing two other
"great railroads" which are striking for
Texas trade, and will not feel
they are safe as "the metropolis
of Texas" until these "great railroads"
are added to those which now center
here. Will not the Examiner admit that
Fort Worth is far in the lead in the race
for metropolis of Texas" when esti-
mated by that papers own test, and that
with the other two "great railroads"
secured we may sit US down to rest and
await the inevitable pre-eminence that
follows on superior distributing facilities.
But our people are not resting yet, dear
Examiner.

that which was conveyed in 1884 by the
nomination of General Logan. Mr..
Blaine may be candidate a dozen times
and he will never again have so brilliant
military associate as the one given him
during the late campaign. He then
derived all the advantage which was
to be gained in that quarter, but
it was not sufficient. The
suggestion in another quarter
that Henry w. Grady of atlanta should
be on the TICKET with Mr.. Cleveland next
year is even more grotesque. It Is high
time that the sectional line should be
wiped out in the making OF presidential
states, but the first man to be taken from
the southern states as Democratic can
dldste will hardly be one of that speckled
school which has been raised up OF late in
championship of the pig-iron idolatry.
There are able statesmen in the south
who would add strength and respectable
ity to any ticket. John G. Carlisle is one
of them. The Gradys are worshiping
the setting sun.

AnUnaccOunt.d for Shortage.

JOLIET, ILL, May 6.-From seventy
five to one hundred thousand dollars of
the funds of the Will County National
Bank are missing. The officials of the
concern admit that there is big short
age, but say it was caused by Cashier
KnoWlton's bad finance management and
his peculiar methods of handling the
funds of the old VIII County Savings
Bank. The latter was a private concern,
but Knowlton was manager of it as well
as cashier of the National, and both banks
were located recently in the same build
ing. The cashier resigned and is now in
Canada, but Captain G P. Phelps, brother
OF, the American minister to England, who
is his counsel, denies he is defsulter.
An investigation is now in progress.

The Tascosa Monitor says: ''It is
coming to be generally acknowledged by
an Intelligent press and right-minded
people, near and far, that the Panhandle
is destined to be the garden spot of
Texas, the breeding center of the stock
countries, the granary of the Union, the
commissary headquarters, as it were, for
all people and classes, the home of manu-
factories, the mart of trade, the resort of
invalids snd-not exactly the Land of
Canaan, perhaps, but a model country.
Its land is richer, It's water clearer, its
air purer and fresher, it's altitude higher
and healthier, its domain is wider and
fairer, and its prospects are brighter,
than can be shown up by any people or
country anywhere"
